Description: Instant Amazon Best Seller and Hot New Release For readers of Caste and Radical Dharma an urgent call to action to end caste apartheid grounded in Dalit feminist abolition and engaged Buddhism. Dalit is the name that we chose for ourselves when Brahminism declared us untouchable. Dalit means broken. Broken by suffering. Broken by caste: the world's oldest longest - running dominator system. yet although Dalit means broken it also means resilient. Caste one of the oldest systems of exclusion in the world is thriving. Despite the ban on Untouchability 70 years ago caste impacts 1.9 billion people in the world. Every 15 minutes a crime is perpetrated against a Dalit person. The average age of death for Dalit women is just 39. And the wreckages of caste are replicated here in the U. S. too erupting online with rape and death threats showing up at work and forcing countless Dalits to live in fear of being outed. Dalit American activist Thenmozhi Soundararajan puts forth a call to awaken and act not just for readers in South Asia but all around the world. She ties Dalit oppression to fights for liberation among Black Indigenous Latinx femme and Queer communities examining caste from a feminist abolitionist and Dalit Buddhist perspective - - and laying bare the grief trauma rage and stolen futures enacted by Brahminical social structures on the caste - oppressed. Soundararajan's work includes embodiment exercises reflections and meditations to help readers explore their own relationship to caste and marginalization and to step into their power as healing activists and changemakers. She offers skills for cultivating wellness within dynamics of false separation sharing how both oppressor and oppressed can heal the wounds of caste and transform collective suffering. Incisive and urgent The Trauma of Caste is an activating beacon of healing and liberation written by one of the world's most needed voices in the fight to end caste apartheid.
